"When they all go, they may be the last entertainment icons shared by an entire country. How true that is.... Gee, ya mean the whole family wont be gathering around the plasma tube 15 years from now watching over and over again the classic "Snoop Dogg's Christmas Special from Rikers Island?"

The biggest threat to the American way was disco, and we shouldn't forget what a serious threat that was or how many lost their dignity and hair styles in that battle.
I'm only 34 but remember getting a good laugh as a young kid when it came to Disco
my teen years were full of hair bands and hairspray... I have a special nostalgia for that ;)

Especially Aqua Net! You could ride a roller coaster during a hurricane & narry a hair would be out of place. Still had to carry a comb in the back pocket of my levi's though. : )

When I look back at how we tried to feather our hair along with a 50 can supply of aqua net...
I cringed...its a wonder any of us have hair at all :)

Inflation, disco and drugs. Polyester. Our long national nightmare.

I'm 41. We had Ronald Reagan...and right when most of us were first starting to think about politics.
That's better than all of the other "shared experiences" the author cites put together. ;)

I spent the '70s snow skiing, trout fishing, camping and hiking the Blue Ridge and chasing ASU coeds.

I remember my high school days. Mondays everybody would be doing their recreations of the latest SNL skits, especially after one Steve Martin hosted.

Remember waiting all week for Saturday morning cartoons?
No longer a special thing, now that cartoons are 24-7...

Definately! Tarzan, Isis, Sigmond & the Seamonsters, Hong-Kong Phooey, Land of the Lost (I was terrified of the Sleestacks). Good memories!

70's & Disco - oh yes, I was the roller skating queen in the 70's... those were the good ol days.
My boys laugh when they see pictures of me in the 80's. Big hair, GOBS of make-up, funky clothes.... Oh if they could only understand how great it was....

Those of us in the Vietnam generation are divided by our common experience.
That's a joke, son.
